On Ethans end in Istanbul, the news was brought to him by one of his lackeys and he began throwing things to the wall in anger, "where is Dead?" he questioned the lackey who brought the news to him as he panted heavily, "he, he has gone to Nigeria, for the thing" the lackey replied and the mood in the room became calm, "that naughty thing would soon be here, everything would be okay soon" Ethan chanted as he turned to the lackey with a crazed smile "i need to kill, its been long i have percived the sweet scent of blood, bring me someone to kill" he said and the lackey bowed then strolled out, not long he came back with a blindfolded frail looking teenage boy, "here, sir Ethan" the lackey said and Ethan grabbed the knife beside him on the table with a crazier smile, "such frail looking boy, how lovely do you think his blood would smell" he said to no one in paticular as he grabbed the boy by the neck, "please, spare me, i wont say about anything i saw, i just wanted food" the boy muttered weakly, "you would be fine" Ethan whispered excitedly and thrust his knife into the boys as he removed the boy's blindfold, the shocked expression on the boy's face made him smile happily in satisfaction, he bent over the boy and inhaled deeply "so refreshing, the blood of weak teenagers are the best" he muttered and lay beside the boy, minuites passed and he finally stood up with a calm expression, "clean this place" he said to his lackey then strolled out of the blood filled room, the lackey only sighed and went to work.
In Lagos, Nigeria, it was two o'clock PM in the afternoon, baba Alabi had just finished fixing the tire of a tricycle in his little fulganizer store and he retired to his usual bench with the 'eko' and 'moi-moi' he just bought from the food hawker, just then his grandson, Ade strolled out of the house behind the store still dressed in his school uniform to him, he had a vibrant expression on his face as he sat on the bench "Ade is so excited today, has Ade won a lottery" baba Alabi jocked, "well, i got a letter from oyinbo, he said he hasn't forgotten his promise but he has some things to sort out and once he his done he would come for me, latest in two months time" Ade narrated and baba Alabi smiled as he put a mossle of 'moi-moi" in his mouth "Ade seems so excited to leave this poor old man" baba Alabi lamented jockingly "haven't we agreed, you would go and stay in the village with other members of the family" Ade muttered "hmm, i wish that accident didnt happen that year, maybe you wouldnt be an orphan with no other familiar family except me, maybe you wouldnt be the only grandchild i have, maybe your life would have been better than the way you are living now, maybe i wouldnt have lost my only son" baba Alabi muttered with sadness visible in his voice, "well, life has done what it can, we cant keep dweling on the past, Ade if you really go abroad with oyinbo you have to remember to make me proud, you have to remember the son of whom you are, stay where you are asked to stay and always remain obedient, you dont know anybody over there so you have to let oyinbo be your guide" baba Alabi said and Ade hmmed in understanding, "joi.." Just then several large black vans stopped in front of the old man's place, and huge cold looking men jumpeout of the vans all holding guns, in confusion, baba Alabi dropped his lunch and strolled foward to the men "good day young men, how may this old man be of anyhelp" he said with a polite smile, "we seek for Jeremy Wilson" Dead said with his gruff voice and baba Alabi became even more confused "Jeremy?, who is that?" he muttered and the men exchanged glances, calmly Dead pulled out a picture of Jeremy and presented to baba Alabi, "oh, that's oyinbo but he has left this place since three days ago" baba Alabi muttered and Dead stepped back then made a hand gesture to his men and they stormed the house just in front of baba Alabi, while baba Alabi only watched with different unanswered questions in his head and Ade standing at the extreme end of the store watching the scene in fear and confusion, minuites passed and the men walked back out without any achievement except a water filled phone and a destroyed laptop, "he his gone, we only found his devices" the men reported to Dead and Dead turned to baba Alabi with a colder expression, "where is he?, where did he go to?" he asked but baba Alabi still had his polite smile "i sincerely have no idea, he left without saying anything, disrespect" baba Alabi said and Dead suddenly grabbed his neck, causing Ade to whimper in fear, "i said where is he, do you want to die" Dead yelled at the suffocating old man "i, do...n't kno..w" baba Alabi muttered incohorrently and Dead trew him to the floor, "you are a foolish old dog" Dead spat and stormed to the van with his men then they drove away sudfenly one of the men shot the old man on the floor and the van sped off, Ade cried in shock and ran to his grandpa "grandpa, why didn't you say, why didn't you" he cried and baba Alabi smiled weakly, "Ade has to go abroad, and, and they would have shot even if i did say, remember, Ade make me proud" the old man mumbled and his eyes shut dead, "grandpa" Ade cried, it was at that moment that the neighbours began strolling out inquiring what happened, the day ended on a very bad note ,baba Alabi, the neighbourhood vulcanizer was shot dead by unknown gun men.
